    K&N slide in filter 82 gs850

    ok PO added a K&N slide in filter but here is the thing i dont think this works that great since there is no way i can see the filter actually filtering anything it fits in the box loosely not snug up against the carb ports.

    is something missing or wrong here? i have a V&H 4-1 stage 3 and pods waiting to go on the bike do i need to use the pods with the stage 3 and exhaust? should i use em, or sell em they are the K&N round ones not offset ovals.

    The K&N filter needs to be screwed down to the stock Suzuki filter support cage. Sounds like someone forgot the cage on your bike.

    To measure is to know.

        The OEM filters came with a foam gasket on top of the filter cage. Yours is probably missing, compacted, or no good anymore. Time for the new weatherstripping on top of the cage if you plan to run the stock airbox. It is a PITA to get the filter in but it will seal it up tight. Might as well replace the side seals as well while you are sealing the box.

        If you are going to run pods and the pipe the stage 3 kit is where most people start, for the pipe only you still should adjust the jetting but not as much, I think they recommend stage 1 kit for a pipe only mod but I am not 100% sure.

            If you are going with pods and exhaust I would reccomend a stage 3 kit I had a stage 1 on my bike when I was running the stock airbox with a new 4-1 exhaust and the bike ran great then when I got pods in the bike just seemed to lack power and have a weak throttle response.
